Synopsis

Learn how to make knives with techniques
from the days of old in a charcoal burning
forge, WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. See why
charcoal is the best fuel for bladesmithing
and how it's used in the Lively Forge that
is specially designed for knifemakers.
Without the use of expensive machinery and
large shop space a handmade knife is forged
to finish with only muscle powered tools.
This allows for more self reliance and the
freedom needed for even a beginner to use the
information here and create a one of a kind
custom knife. The benefit of working so
intimately with each piece is that it gives
the finished knife your unique artistic
signature! Since the most important part of
finishing a blade is the heat treatment, it
is shown and explained in great detail.
You'll also learn how to make a professional
quality leather sheath with some unlikely but
accessible tools. This is a 2 hour DVD.
